Lamborghini Veneno Roadster Shows Up in UAE

A very special presentation for a very special car. This red Lamborghini Veneno Roadster was transported to the UAE in an Italian aircraft carrier to attend a special presentation event in the land of supercars. The result is a set of stunning shots that you can see in the gallery below.

As a refresher, the Lamborghini Veneno Roadster is powered by a modified version of the Aventador's 6.5-liter V12 engine that produces 750 Hp and sends power to all four wheels. This allows the roadster to sprint from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 2.9 seconds and hit a top speed of 355 Km/h (220 mph) thanks in part to its low weight of 1,490 kg (3,278 pounds). The costs $4.5million (that's $600k more than the more exclusive coupé version) and only nine units will be produced.

One-off Lotec C1000 to Be Auctioned

The Lotec C1000 is one of those supercars that you probably never heard of. And it's made by a company that probably does not exist any more. But it's pretty damn fast and it might even be faster than most of today's supercars. And now it's going to be auctioned for a price list between 'only' $1million and $1.3million. It's pretty good value because back in 1995, the customer who wanted to have his own unique hypercar paid a whopping $3.5million!

So let's have a look at the numbers. The Lotec Mercedes-Benz C1000 is powered by a 5.6-liter Mercedes-Benz V8 producing 1000 Hp and it's fully made of carbon fiber so it weights just 1,079 Kilograms (2,380 pounds). Performance numbers are the following: 0 to 100 Km/h in 3.2 seconds, 0 to 200 km/h is 8.1 seconds (McLaren P1 and LaFerrari do it 7 seconds..) and the top speed is 431 Km/h (same as the Veyron SS). However these numbers were never officially verified.

The car will be auctioned at the Charlotte Convention Center Auction that will take place between October 31st and November 3rd. More pictures in the gallery below.
